I'm actually kinda disappointed at TOTK being the next Deepest Dive - just doesn't feel like a game that suits the format but that's just my gut feeling

The Canipa Effect

I used to be in anime journalism, and I absolutely get Ben's take on actors. There is nothing worse than really wanting to dig deep into how a show was made, and then PR just sends you a bunch of voice actors who were only involved in one very small part at the end. Drived me up the freaking wall. What questions am I meant to write? "Did you have fun?"

Ben's views on actors are hilarious to me 😂 It seems very much based in a journalistic sense with how much he focused on the way they act in interviews. That's quite a small portion of their lives, it just happens to be the content we are most exposed to in terms of them behaving as 'normal' people. It's probably a terrible measuring stick on who they are as real people, being asked the same questions over and over again for press availability they're obligated to do. They're just performers Ben, not some cabal of nefarious liars 😅 Think about how anyone is at interactions they are obligated to have, for example, customer service jobs, athletes at press conferences after games, sales people...you get that same type of performative, disingenuous behavior in a lot of situations. I think you're really over thinking this Ben and hope your war on actors gets called off lol
